Ethics in the digital workplace
Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
Romanian textile manufacturer Nelia Fine Stayle has announced plans to dismiss 178 employees by January 2019 from its plant in Turnu Magurele, Teleorman County. The redundancies are taking place due to the increasingly unstable financial situation of the company and the decrease in the number of orders for the company’s products. The territorial Labour Inspectorate, ITM Teleorman, has announced that it will carry out strict controls to make sure the company abides by the legal provisions related to the collective redundancy proceedings.
